We were promised a 7-seater MPV, but got a 7-seater SUV instead. With the third row of seats up, we couldn't fit any luggage. They helplessly said there were no other cars available, not Hertz's fault.

We chose Hertz because it was a family trip and we had kids with us, so we always rent an 8-seater from them. This time, the car was in excellent condition, and the built-in navigation system was very useful. It was a very satisfying trip.

I booked a Volvo S40, but when I arrived, I was informed it wasn't available because I was late. Am I supposed to precisely predict if the flight will be delayed? After some hassle, they gave me a Jeep Wrangler. Its fuel consumption is very inefficient, but at least the staff had a decent attitude.

Needs improvement in efficiency

Booked an automatic BMW sedan for 400+ euros, they insisted it was unavailable and gave me a terrible Ford car, a manual without navigation. Then they offered a tiny Citroen automatic also without navigation. I had no choice but to switch to a Mercedes C180 which cost an additional 30 euros per day. After ten days, they charged another 100+ euros saying it was tax. In the end, I spent over 800 euros. What a rip-off!
